Just checkin in...

Training has been going pretty good since my last check in. Feeling strong in the pool…bike’s coming along…running…eehh. I’ve been trying to get in extra volume in the pool. John (coach) wants me to shoot for an extra 2000m each week so I’m not dead coming out of the water in November. Crazy to think that IMFL is only 85 days away. Today, I’m about to head out to a site visit and then make my way up to Guntersville for Mt. Lakes. This is a fun race. I wasn’t really ready to race last year. Last year after Chatty, I pretty much phoned it in. I barely swam or rode. Running was just a thought. I feel pretty good about this weekend. It’s a sprint (for those keeping track at home 600yd swim/16.2mi bike/3mi run). Everything is crazy flat and fast. I’m hoping to break 1:30 for this race. It’s gonna mean that my run will need to be one of the best runs I’ve had. We will see. There is a 50% chance of rain last time I checked. The high is only 89. It might actually be comfortable for the first little bit. I’m hoping to get up there and get a nice ride in after I grab my race packet and get checked into my room. I’ll be check in on twitter as the weekend progresses and I’ll try to get a race report up sometime on Sunday. Have a great weekend!
